I agree Costa, I think Dick likes women. I don't think Dick likes shallow, self-absorbed women. He wants to talk politics, religion and about important issues. Jen is in love with heself and expects everyone else to love to look at her, Kail either is completely uninformed or just playing dumb (however she doesn't like gays and is very religous) obviously not someone Dick can connect with, Jen is still a cheerleader, Amber is overly emotional, Jameka uses her religion as her guide (again not something Dick feels he can debate) so who is left..his daughter.

I truly can't blame Dick for thinking that women can possibly be nuts. But then, I have been accused of not thinking before I speak, quite often. I sometimes think the same thing. I grew up with 4 brothers and have raised a son, but that does not help me to understand women who would spend more on shoes than they would on a weeks worth of Groceries.

I disagree with conservative ministers, that does not mean that I hate them. I disagree with them and I don't like their message, and I'm not afraid to say so. That does not make me a hater nor does it make me offensive.

After reading his blog, I can say no he doesn't hate women. I do think however some people are uncomfortable with guys like Dick who are blunt, to the point, and don't sugar coat it for anyone. I admire that, and do it myself, sometimes with sucess, and sometimes I utterly fail at my attempts to communicate, mostly because many people don't know what to do with people who are blunt, and to the point. (aka, non pc)

Well, I call it as I see it and I think Dick is one very angry guy who has issues with women. I certainly wouldn't want to be involved with him or have any woman I cared about be involved with him but I guess that's just me.

I can totally understand what he is saying. His biggest problem is that he is dating young pretty women he meets in bars. Obviously he has has some really bad relationships with shallow, self-absorbed women and that's why he finds Jen and Kail so appalling and feels he needs to tell them what he thinks. Many, many women do act exactly as he describes, just as many men do. Replace the word penis for vagina and I bet you would have many, many women who feel the same way.

It doesn't mean they hate men, it means that they haven't met the right one. I see Dick as a very sensitive man with a non-sensitive personna, and women preying on his sensitivity, but wanting to change his personna.

My son has the same problem with women. He comes off as very bold, but he is sensitive and the women he has dated in the last 4 years have been just deplorable. I call them his "Princesses", it's all about them, no give and take. They think that they should be all that revolves in his world. Does that make him jaded.."you bet". His new girlfriend is now having to pay for his guardedness and it's a shame. He just waits for the other shoe to drop.

I can't stand shallow, self-absorbed women or men so I can completely understand if he wrote that after coming out of yet another disasterous relationship.

This is a very interesting discussion to me.

I have friends who have told me that if you treat women with respect, they will think of you as a wimp. But if you treat them like dirt, they will like you, will find all sorts of excuses of why it is OK for you to do so and will defend you against anyone who criticises you for the way you treat them.

I always thought they were wrong. Maybe not....

As a woman, if I were in that house, Dick would be my best friend. He's the only one there that I can completely relate to in most issues. At least he can have an interesting discussion now and then, there doesn't seem to be anyone else in there that has that ability (except possibly Dustin, but I haven't heard him talk too much about outside life issues).
And regardless of what his blog says, I don't believe for one minute that Dick hates all women because he has problems with Jen and Kail. If I were in that house, I would have problems with Jen and Kail too!

I haven't followed this season closely enough to have an opinion on whether Dick appears to have issues with women or not. However I'm quite sure that if he had hurled a racial slur at Jameka or screamed profane remarks about Joe or Dustin being gay, there would definitely be an impression that he had issues there. But it's just fine to call women b*tches, right? The fact that it's regularly used (and usually not even bleeped anymore) in public and the media doesn't indicate an undercurrent of misogyny in our society at all, right? I really don't understand why other women tolerate denigrating comments about their own sex. Actually beyond tolerate, they regularly engage in it themselves. Do they not realize they're not only hurting their sisters, their mothers and daughters, they're hurting themselves? They should try looking at people as individuals some time instead of lazily, hatefully falling back on negative stereotypes (they seem to think it makes them look good but it actually just makes them look just as "b*tchy", shallow, and catty as they accuse other women of being). And you know what? Guys pay attention to how women treat each other and often take their cues from that. If they see us being nasty to each other, it not only confirms the stereotype of women not getting along, it gives men the license to behave in the same way.

Respect goes both ways.. Jen did not respect Dick and he blasted her for it. Kail lied to his face (not that he hasn't lied, but no one calls him on it) and he blasted her for it. "Respect" is not a given, it's an earned response. You don't get respect just because you are a woman or a man.

The trouble I have with him is that he's not just telling them what he thinks he's threatening them "I'm going to make you the most miserable b**** in the house" The way he was standing over Jen was very domineering. I also have a problem with men who feel they have to call women b****es all the time (like Eric BB6).

For what it's worth I like Dick but those things bother me (much like Howie's rant against April did and I'm a Howie fan).

Calamity you make a good point. In my day (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) you didn't refer to each other as bi**hs unless you really meant it. Today calling names is sometimes used as terms of endearment. I have heard most all of the hgs call someone a name in fun as well as in anger.

I teach middle school and if I have heard Black children call each other N**ger once I've heard it a million times. To them it's a term of brotherhood, to me it's disgusting based on how hard it has been for blacks to attain the rights they deserved in out country.

Dick has made it clear he doesn't agree with Jamika's religion, Kails intolerance, or Jens self-absorbtion. The others have made the same comments, however not publically. Just because you think something without saying it does not make you different, just less honest.

Kail has made it clear she does not approve of gay people. I have a problem with intolerance.
I have a problem with people who have a problem with me because I don't agree with their political or religious beliefs and I have a problem with people who put themselves above all others. I will say so openly and don't really care what anyone thinks of me. This is Dick's game to play and it appears by all the postings that more people agree with him than not.

What - I have to agree. I'm having an extremely hard time understading the appeal that Dick has for so many of the females on the various BB boards. I don't find him interesting at all. Interesting because he attempted to have a discussion or two on politics and religion? Please - those are two subjects I would avoid like the plague unless you wanted to rile someone up for a strategic purpose.

Also I find it highly suspect that a caring father would think that a reality TV show with 7/24 feeds is the appropriate place to try and resolve father-daughter issues. So he doesn't garner any points for me in trying to mend the family relationship (if in fact there is anything to mend - I think it's a bit of a ploy to get on the show.) His use of the "C" word in one of his rants about women gave me a clue as to his respect for our gender. None at all. I loved C1's posting a while back when that language first surfaced. I thought the male contestants last year got bashed to for weeks on end when they were using that type of language on last year's fan favorite hampster.

But I guess that why I like BB so much - not for the show itself, but more for seeing how all the BB posters get so passionate about certain hamsters whether they are defending them or dissing them. Gotta love it.

Dick strikes me as being extremely insecure. I dont get that he hates women but he is defensive with everyone. Not sure what I think about him since I havent watched too many of the feeds yet this year and his overall appearance is not something I find attractive plus from what I read abut his frequent use of a word which I find extremely insulting, wouldnt put me on a fan list. I dont know of a single person who uses that word and plenty of my friends use colorful language but that --- over the line.

This is something my mother used to tell me:

The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

I do not think any of us really know the pressure that these people feel in the house or what may have really happened that let up to the point of him loosing his cool. Evil Dick may not really be like that outside the house

lol...maybe who knows? I think Dick would like woman to think more like him. I think those who hate Dick are the ones who wish they could speak up and say what's on their minds.
